In my artwork I seek to engage with a sense of embodied or sensory way of knowing and belonging to a life amongst lives. It is something we intuitively or passively know but also need to seek to know actively - to bring into our consciousness as part of our every day lives and the things we do with ourselves. As humans we have developed a myriad of “connecting” practices and for me it is swimming most days. In the world of water I feel like I’m in a cosmic ecosystem – at times it feels like an encounter with endlessness. Endless interactions with sound, light and breath Breath, the interface between the world inside and outside – breath that animates us from the moment we are born until we die. For me, these images capture moments of the depth and “breath” of these experiences.
